my first call as a paid firefighter was a power line arcing on a pole in trees. I was in my gear on the tailboard (it was almost 33 years ago - so yep, we rode tailboard) before the other tailboard firefighter, the driver and our Lt. even came out...
Course, he could be serious. In which case I look like a Police Officer trying to be a FireFighter.
I could have swore I saw the squad hanging out with Herbie The Love Bug over by Cape Coral. Someone better get a hold of Heratio and find out what is going on.
A few years back there was a replica Squad 51, I though in Central Florida. Anybody know of it and how to contact the owner?
A group for those who loved watching the TV show EMERGENCY!

I'm heading to the college next week to take systems two so I'll get a chance to speak with some of the guys i haven't seen in awhile. Will you attend the service this week? If so I hope to see you.

- Chief,
Can you call me in the afternoon sometime, got a issue that you might be able to assist with. One of my station 15 vols is having some difficulty with FSFC on getting the state FF1 exam. She completed the CCFR FF1 class a year ago and the state has her paperwork. Hoping that you would know who she needs to speak with. I work nights, anytime after 2pm is good any day of the week
Thanks
Chris

- Chief,
It's the army's version, called a CH-47 Chinook. The 46 & 47 were both built by Boeing. The US Navy & Marine Corps operate the 46, while the 47 is currently only operated by the Army. It has the capability to lift over 11,000 pounds of water in that bambi bucket. Could be of great assistance to us in the coming fire season. The unit moved to Cecil from Craig airport a few years ago and recently added the 47's to the hanger. One of my fellow St 15 vols is a full time flight medic on the blackhawk. Thanks for the heads up about Jim, will look him up as well. As for FRE, was only there for a few hours, had to work that night. Took my father in law, made the rounds and left within 2 hours or so. Made the 12 hour night shift much longer, but FRE is always worth attending. I found the old E221, it's over in a junkyard in Lake City. I believe that I still have some pics of it, I will post them when I get home in the morning.
Enjoy the retired life
Chris

Hi Kali,
Thanks a million for that information - that's exactly the sort of stuff I'm looking for. I'll check out those links and talk to Vaughn too. I joined the service with his Dad. I'll certainly tell him you said hello.
